Hawks: McCoy to stay at Oklahoma

The Seahawks could really use a defensive tackle in April’s NFL draft. Someone like Oklahoma’s Gerald McCoy.

It won’t happened, however, because ESPN.com is reporting that McCoy will stay in school rather than declare himself eligible for the draft.

McCoy (6-4, 288) was rated by Scouts, Inc. as one of the top defensive line prospects in the upcoming draft.

“I’ve decided to stay,” McCoy said told ESPN.com. “I talked it over with my family and I just don’t feel like right now is the time for me to leave. I feel another year would benefit my speed, strength and overall knowledge of the game.”
